Rogue Wave (myspace.com/roguewave) was formed in 2002 and has released three albums the latest being Asleep At Heaven’s Gate on Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records. The making of the album was marked by life changing events like drummer Pat Spurgeon’s kidney transplant, keyboardist Gram LeBron lost his father, singer Zach Rogue had a daughter and the band recruited a new bass player (Patrick Abernethy, formerly of Beulah). The band’s song “Lake Michigan” was featured in a very popular Microsoft Zune ad.
